The Fourth Annual Roy Williams' Fast Break Against Cancer was another great success with 400 guests in attendance. The breakfast event raised at least $160,000 -- $70,000 from silent and live auctions -- for cancer research in our community, bringing the total raised at this event over the past four years to $660,000.
Featured speakers included Coach Roy Williams, Tar Heel soccer legend, two-time Olympic Champion, and two-time World Cup Champion Mia Hamm, and Voice of the Tar Heels Woody Durham.
